Atkins products = conflict of interest???
I've been reading so much lately about people eating low carb Atkins products to find themselves in a stall. I'm finding this a bit frustrating because it seems like Atkins is providing products that may not be beneficial in the long run.
I think these products should at least be marketed for maintenance low carb eating. Furthermire, they should be labelled in big print Not to be eaten while on Induction . My other "beef" is that his products are still processed food. Don't we want to break the habit of eating processed, quick, nutrient-deficient food, and turn to a lifestyle that consists of natural, whole food?
When I heard him speaking on Larry King Live, I didn't hear him mention that he ate his own low-carb products. He said he ate omelettes, nuts, meats, some fruit and more vegetables than a "vegetarian".
I admire Dr. Atkins, maybe even idolize him a little. But I'm very frustrated with his commercial marketing decisions. I think it is a conflict of interest when many people are lulled into thinking that they can lose weight while eating them.
In this realm, Schwarzbein reigns.
Thanks for the vent,
Wanda
